It's most disappointing when the "normal" meals are most likely gluten free, such as a red thai curry, and also if I'm having alleged fine dining. I seem to recall that youfirst can tell us the list of allergens if we pre-order, which we will probably do.
She does tend to take some snacks with her, and we can eat in the CCR before hand too. It's an evening flight, around 20:30. But it's our first BA First, so wanted to make the most of it. Also a milestone birthday treat for her ; )
My wifes a coeliac aswell, we do fly CW and it is horrendous to see what she gets served most of the times. We have the same frustrations, cooking gluten free isn't rocket science and alot what we see on the menu is most likely gluten free but I pressume they don't/ can't garanty meals are a 100% safe due to cross contamination.
We don't fly first (although we would love to), but we see the food as part of the experience and to this day it is very hard to get straight anwsers from the airlines to what they serve and ingredients.
I have heard but this is not confirmed that they serve the same GFML in all classes..
